This is Jaynie's first year of Jr High rodeo and already loves barrel racing. She has done 4H since she was 8 and is lucky to have Kacey Kalmar as her rodeo mentor.
Jaynie got her mare, Sarajean, about 8 months ago and is working hard to become a team with her. Let's welcome Jaynie to many more years of UHSRA rodeo!

Rodeo Friday is here...Let's do this!
Diesel Bundy-Southern Utah Jr. High Rodeo Club
Proud Parents: Virginia & Weston Bundy
This is Diesel's 2nd year in Jr High Rodeo but has been competing since he was 5. His favorite event this year is Team Roping with his partner, Bladen Leavitt. They inspire each other inside the arena and out!
Diesel looks up to Derrick Begay because he is also Native American and a down to earth person. He thinks it's inspiring to have other Native Americans in the rodeo industry that embrace their culture.
HIs horse is named Mia but calls her "The Dragon". She has become his all around horse and can't wait to start calf roping on her in the fall!
